    Hey i'm going to do a spray paint design on my board but i dont know what spray paint to use? also do i give it a clear acrylic coat or something like that? do i have to sand the board so the paint adheres better? Just need some advice quick because my mom is gonna drive me to the hardware store soon. also can i do it on a foam board(soft top board)?

    Don't do it--that's my advice especially for the bottom.

    Spray paint is overrated. Blood is forever.

    it wont bond to your soft top board and most likely it will eat the foam since it is eps core i dont really know how the soft top construction is made, but if you want to go for it, krylon paints flat and than krylon acrlyic clear coat to seal. good luck. dont say you were not warned
